Do I need the fuse #1 R FOG/C FAN TRAIL and #13 12V PLUG?  I don't think my car even has rear fog lights and I don't have any trailer hitch on my car.  It's a 2005 subaru legacy.  The other fuse online says its a cargo socket?  I don't know what that is. Ideally I'd like to just install the dashcam into fuses that are for parts of the car that I don't ever use at all.

C.Fan - might be the front cooling fans, but would think that would be in fuse under the hood. Note: I just read that there can be one fuse for a Relay and another for the Power.  

Cargo socket would (likely) be the rear '12v' power socket. 

Personally, I'd just tap into the '12V plug' shown. I've installed 3 dash cams and never had an issue blowing it when I used the 12v and dash cam simultaneously. 

how about an update on which path the OP chose ??

I just ended up using F FOG and CIGAR.  Viofo a229 pro working great
